Meeting on a Pimlico Pavement

He's one of those days.
An unpaid bill
spilling blood on her cotton life.

She just took the wrong turning
into his chocolate coated eyes.
She melts away now,
he sucks his teeth.

But she's other things.
A cracked Pimlico pavement
collecting waste from the hearts
of the scraping downtrodden.

And giving breath anew
to the lost causes
of walk by love affairs.

She's stronger?
